cellulitis due to a necrotizing clostridial infection, especially one caused by Clostridium perfringens, usually arising in devitalized tissue in a contaminated wound or in otherwise compromised tissues, and characterized by a foul-smelling discharge, widespread gas formation, and frank crepitus. The clinical findings are milder than those seen in true gas gangrene.

| clostridial t. |
one elaborated by species of Clostridium, including those causing botulism (botulinus t.), gas gangrene (gas gangrene t.), and tetanus (tetanus t.). In addition, C. difficile produces an exotoxin causing severe intestinal necrosis. C. perfringens produces a number of exotoxins causing gas gangrene, intestinal necrosis, and hemolysis, some with cardiotoxic, deoxyribonuclease, and hyaluronidase activity, and an enterotoxin causing acute food poisoning.
